Top 5 Books with the Found Family Trope | Top 5 Saturdays

Top 5 Saturdays is a series brought about by Mandy @ Devouring Books. If you want to see the schedule of Top 5 Saturday prompts, check out the link for Mandy!

I’ve decided for these Top 5 Saturdays, I will be looking exclusively at books I want to read, but haven’t yet. It’ll keep things interesting. I’ll only include books I’ve read if I absolutely can’t help myself 😁

Anyway, let’s get to it!

Books I want to read…

I have heard so much about this series and about Schwab’s books. I think the premise for this book sounds really exciting! Two friends who discover that people can develop super-powers, only to have a falling out and they become archenemies. I mean, sound’s pretty kick-ass. I hope to read this book soon!

Like with Vicious, this book sounds like it’s got the “found family gone wrong” situation going on. A group of Shakespearean actor friends in college and a murder, and only one get’s the blame and goes to jail…but what really happened? This sounds so intriguing, I just hope it ends up being as awesome as it seems to be…

I ended up putting this book on my TBR because I saw that it was being adapted for the screen and I love a good book to movie adaptation. Plus, look at that title…I mean, what is going on? Plus, I love a good written letter exchange, plus groups based around literary interests. This sounds like a winner, I just hope that it ends up being so!

This book sounds so funny! I only hope it fits this prompt of “found families” since I can’t exactly tell from the summary, but…I mean, the idea of a character not being the “chosen one,” but rather just an average joe who just wants to finish high school and ask out the girl he likes to prom, all with the backdrop of some funky supernatural/apocalyptic stuff going on…Sounds like it could be really fun!

This book sounds so cute! Three people coming together over their shared “brokenness” by average people standards just…it warms my heart! Plus, one of my good friends has recommended this book to me and I’ve been meaning to read it for-ever! I really hope to like it as much as I think I will!

I'm a librarian who loves to knit, craft, and play board games. I provide free reviews of books in a variety of genres on this blog. I love to discuss books with fellow book lovers and engage in nerdy discourse about the many fandoms I'm a part of (Harry Potter, Marvel, Star Wars, Jane Austen, etc).

I am exactly like that. I feel like all summer long there weren’t a ton of titles that I was excited about, but for fall it’s like I was excited for everything. I have been reading for like a month so I can try and be on top of all my fall ARCs.

No! You definitely are! I’m always surprised by books I haven’t heard of making people’s lists. There are so many books out there! But I keep seeing Schwab everywhere, that its for certain! I need to see what all the fuss is about!

I haven’t got around to Eleanor Oiliphant yet either but really looking forward to it. Guernsey Potato Pie didn’t excite me much – interesting info about the effects of the war on the island but I thought the narrative lacked some finesse

Good to know! I’ll see how I end up liking it, but most books, for me, are middle of the road. It’s very rare for me to be blown away, so I’m okay with it being mediocre. I mostly just want to read it before seeing the movie adaptation 🙂
